The demonstration is expected to be similar to the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York -- which calls for the end of corporate greed. Organizers of the protest say they're planning for a long-term occupation of Government Plaza in front of the Hennepin County Government Center.

It was Day Two Saturday of OccupyMN -- a protest that condemns Wall Street corporate power and lobbyists' influence over government. About 300 protesters filled the Hennepin County Government Center plaza by late afternoon.

A group of protesters, and one man dressed in a costume who called himself the "gay robot professor," heckled and chanted when Michele Bachmann rolled into the Hamburg Inn in Iowa City. Campaign officials reportedly cranked up the holiday music in an attempt to drown out the protesters, and things got a little bit heated between bystanders and hecklers.

The Occupy Wall Street movement has come a long way from New York. For nearly a month, the campaign to denounce social inequality and corporate greed has spread swiftly throughout the nation. Minneapolis was 'occupied' last week, and now the effort is branching out even further.
